What is the difference between VPS Hosting and Shared/Virtual Hosting?

With shared/virtual hosting you share your space, resources, applications and environment with sometimes hundreds of other users. This configuration can allow any issues to a single site to affect the performance and security of anyone else on the same server. A VPS is divided into multiple isolated environments. Each VPS has it’s own server software and provides autonomy for each website. Any issues to a site would only affect that VPS and not any other site(s) on the same server. As with a true dedicated server, each VPS has it’s own independent operating system with it’s own web server, mail server, and any installed software.
